Album Rank for Group: #1 of 1
Here’s a blurb: Tenor Russell Moore and bass Ray Deaton are two of the greatest singers of the modern bluegrass generation. Both former members of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, they left to form IIIrd Tyme Out in the early 1990s, with immediate smashing success. Living on the Other Side was their first all-gospel recording and showcases their expert harmonies anchored by Moore’s famously powerful tenor lead. There’s some hot pickin’ on this record, but as with most any bluegrass gospel album, it’s mainly about those harmonies.
Knock my socks off: Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Everybody’s Gonna Have a Wonderful Time Up There (both a cappella)
Don’t skip that one: He’ll Take You In, Heading for That City, Across the Miles, I’m Working on a Road to Gloryland (w/Earl Scruggs)
I could honestly do without: Eternity Has Begun
